| − | '''Pain is an act of trust; '''It is not, and never will be, something that can be touched, something that can be held in your hand. Since it cannot be seen, only it’s effects can, you have to trust that it is there.</span> |

| − | '''Pain is mankind’s whip;''' It is what drives you out into the world when you fear what is behind you. It is what snaps at us and makes us surge forward. It is the slave driver for life. Pain cracks at your feet when you feel that you cannot walk forward anymore. Pain batters at your mind when you cannot decide what to do. Pain slices at your arms when you are not willing to give in to it. Pain is greedy, and yet it still gives itself to you. </span> |

| − | '''Pain is what teaches us evil; '''It is what gives us our emotions; sorrow, rage, fear, joy. All of these are formed in the crucible of pain. When you are sad, you feel sorry for the pain of yourself or others. When you are angry, you feel pain and desire to give it to someone else. When you are afraid, you shirk away from anything that could give you pain. When you a happy, it is because you do not feel pain.</span> |

| − | '''Pain is a necessity;''' If we did not have it cracking at our bodies, our bodies would do nothing. It is a law of nature that a thing only moves when a force is applied to it. Pain does this for us. Pain makes us run into that burning building to save that child, because we fear that she will fear pain. Pain is what makes us put our hands on that chest, because we fear for the pain of the girl and her friends if that girl’s heart stops. Pain is what makes us decide things, because we fear for the pain of not being able to make a choice and the pain of making the wrong choice. </span> |

| − | '''Pain can be overcome;''' It is only as strong as we allow it to be. When we step into the light, even though we might get burned, we know it is better than the cold shadows. When we feel that pain inside our hearts and wish it to be gone, we know that if we make ourselves a master of that pain that it will be controlled. The truth about pain is that even though it cracks it’s whip at us to keep us going, we can always protect ourselves from it.</span> |
